AI-powered assistants will be integrated into engineering applications

AI assistants in engineering software will both simplify and streamline engineers' ability to control their tools. By leveraging natural language models, engineers will be able to interact with applications directly through voice and text commands. So says Eric Vinchon, VP of product strategy at Tech Soft 3D, as he makes impactful predictions for the sector in 2025 and beyond. Further, he predicts that AI agents will revolutionise learning, customer service, support and more. Concluding, he says: "The role of AI in engineering, development and technology as a whole is going to be transformative in ways we can’t possibly anticipate fully. We look forward to seeing the developments in the next year and far beyond.”
